Release Notes
Version 3.2
- iPhoto Library Manager is now a Universal Binary and runs on Intel Macs. The minumum system requirement is now 10.3.9 instead of 10.3.0.
- Added new iPod Folder feature to support syncing photos from multiple libraries with a photo capable iPod.
- Made several improvements to the merge function:
- Albums are now created at the beginning of the merge process and photos are added to them as the merge progresses, rather than only being created and populated at the very end of the merge.
- A new option allows merged photos to be added to existing albums rather than always creating new albums.
- You can now relaunch iPhoto periodically during the merge, increasing stability and lowering memory footprint.
- If an error occurs or iPhoto crashes during a merge, iPhoto Library Manager will give you the option of continuing the merge.
- Added an option to retrieve library information from the AlbumData.xml file when copying albums or merging (useful for corrupt or very slow iPhoto libraries).
